G750JX Monitor Driver (Not GPU)

[PdUb1985]

Hello,

I received my G750JX on Friday, and have been doing research on drivers. I noticed many people are turning the refresh rate on the monitor up to 80-100 hz. I on the other hand, cannot change my refresh rate from 60, which I am attributing to the "Monitor" device, has a standard monitor driver.

I've been searching for a driver on the asus website, and all around google with no luck. Can anyone point me to a driver that will work with my display?

Thanks

Paul

there is no driver, you have the standard screen, we have the 3D screen that's why we can set our refresh rate to 120 hz.

ouch

Well that is stupid. Why would you not include a performance driver for a gaming laptop. /sigh. Thanks for the reply.

[Nehmia]

coz a screen never did need drivers I guess?

wish they had though I hear you

maybe it doesn't need but it would improve

but that's what Splendid is for

You're able to up your refresh rate via the NVidia control panel. Make a custom profile with: Change Resolution > Customise > Create Custom Resolution

Leave settings as they are, only change your refresh rate, TEST it once you are done.

To apply it, select it from your list on the Nvidia control panel, it'll show under the "Custom" tab.


WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING

Do this at your own risk, it may harm your monitor. Also, on Chimei or any non 3D screen, do not go above 85, or you will see multicolored artifacts all over the screen.

WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING = WARNING

If you're upping your refresh rate because you have screen tearing, put on tripple buffering or V-sync in the Nvidia panel instead. (It works)

If you're upping your refresh rate because you see the feint grey lines, it might be a shading issue, not the monitor itself. Wait for a new driver please.

Is a new driver expected to remedy this?
1st post, new JW arrived this morning and was going to change the res to deal with the lines.

thanks in advance, this forum helped me select the G750, so far so good...

If your screen is NOT a 3D screen then do not up your refresh rate above 60 Hz. or you will damage your screen on the long run

also, the 3D screen is connected to a displayport internally which is faster than the normal 2D lvds connection.
this is needed for 120hz.
increasing the refresh of a normal screen may, as folks here said, damage the screen but could be the cause tearing and artifacts.

The update DOES fix most of the issues on Chi Mei.

334.67 Beta

Gets rid of all black lines and screen flicker on color gradients.

It's not a TRUE fix, but it's a work-around that's made it much much more appealing to the eye.
